hasDirectories()

Checks if a directory contains at least one subdirectory, or only subdirectories if strict mode is enabled.

Parameters

$dir : string|null

The path to the directory to check. Must be a valid readable directory.

$strict : bool = false

If true, the function returns true only if the directory contains only subdirectories (no files or other items). Defaults to false.

Tags

throws

DirectoryException

If the path is null, empty, not a directory, or does not meet the readability/writability requirements as checked by assertDirectory().

example

try
{
    $dir = '/path/to/directory';

    // Check if directory contains at least one subdirectory
    if ( hasDirectories($dir) )
    {
        echo "Directory contains at least one subdirectory.\n";
    }
    else
    {
        echo "No subdirectories found.\n";
    }

    // Check if directory contains only subdirectories (strict mode)
    if ( hasDirectories( $dir , true ) )
    {
        echo "Directory contains only subdirectories.\n";
    }
    else
    {
        echo "Directory contains files or other items besides subdirectories.\n";
    }
}
catch (DirectoryException $e)
{
    echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage() . "\n";
}
